I am the computer teacher at a private K-12 school in Winnipeg Manitoba
I have successfully been running K12LTSP server for two years now.
I have a dual zeon 3.06 GHz server, currently with 4 80 Gb SATA drives
connected to a MegaRaid 4 port raid controller set for raid 0. I have
currently 2 Gb of RAM.
Workstations are almost exclusively IBM 300PLs which are thin clients,
onboard video, sound, nic, etc
They are a little slow when 30+ workstations all load StarOffice 7 at
the same time, or when they log out.
Overall I have been happy with the K12LTSP distro, but am exploring
options and am considering Edubuntu instead.
Questions:
1. Is Edubuntu as easy to setup as the K12LTSP distro? I have played
with other distros in test environments with varying degrees of
success. The LTSP portion is always my downfall. But with K12LTSP it
works out of the box, with only tweaking required to be up and running
thin clients
2. Sound has always been an issue. (on the workstations) very
infrequently, the sound cards on the workstations produce sound. But
mostly they do not. How is the sound on the thin clients connecting to
Edubuntu?
3. Can anyone convince me/give me good reasons to switch to your
distro? I mean, what in your opinion makes you better/different from
K12LTSP?
